What's for Dinner? Tuesday Dec.11

Good morning! I almost forgot to get us started this morning and I was too exhausted to start the thread last night (ok, I completely forgot, LOL). Mondays are super busy, since I help at school all day. So we leave the house at 8:30 and we don't get home until 3:45pm. I've been trying to find more crock pot recipes, to make on Mondays, since I'm usually too exhausted (mentally) to even think of making dinner. Not sure if it's the Holidays, but the kids were crazy yesterday. All the teachers say I'm a sucker for punishment, helping ALL DAY in the Kindergarten class; but I LOVE it!! It's not until I get home, that I feel totally drained, LOL.

QoTD: What's your go to dinner on super busy days, where you are out of the house for the majority of the day?

Like I said, crockpot meal in the winter. During the summer, it's bugers and dogs on the grill.

WFD: Leftovers, we have some roast beef for hot beef sandwiches and leftover moose stew.

AOTD: I just got a crockpot, so I'm sure I'll start to develop some standbys, but right now, it's definitely pasta, usually with a lot of veggies. Last night for instance, I sauteed mushrooms, onions, cherry tomatoes, and garlic in an abundance of olive oil with some crushed red pepper, then added a little chicken stock (would have used white wine if I had it), reduced it, added some lemon zest and spinach to wilt, then tossed it all with tortellini and some parmesan. Typical quick dinner for us.

WFD: Tuna steaks with warm white bean and Swiss chard salad with lemon vinaigrette. Also...cheddar and black pepper cornbread. Not that the two have anything to do with each other, I've just really had a hankering for cornbread!
